A BJP MP has claimed that the opposition's talk of crisis in the nation's automobile industry is a conspiracy to defame the government. Virendra Singh Mast, a Lok Sabha MP from Ballia in Uttar Pradesh, told parliament today that traffic jams on the roads of Indian cities and towns was an indication the auto sector is, in fact, thriving. The UP BJP leader made these claims while participating in a discussion in the Lok Sabha on the state of agriculture in the country.
"To defame the nation and government people are saying that the automobile sector has slowed down. If there is a decline in automobile sales then why are there traffic jams on the roads?" Virendra Singh Mast asked parliament.
Virendra Singh Mast's bizarre claim comes despite mounting industry data that confirms the Indian automobile industry has been in the throes of a slowdown for several months.
